Privacy Policy

Information we process

Depending on the features you use and the privacy choices you make, the site may process the following categories of information:

• Technical and device information: IP address, browser/device type, operating system, requested URLs, timestamps, referring pages, and approximate location derived from IP address.
• Advertising and consent information: consent strings, privacy preference signals, cookie or device identifiers, ad impressions/interactions, and information needed to remember privacy choices.
• Usage information: page and feature interactions used for aggregate analytics when non-essential analytics is permitted.
• Site preferences: map settings, selected views, document tracking, display preferences, and other interface state stored in your browser.
• User submissions: location submissions, incorrect-information reports, feedback, replies, and related technical information needed to review or protect those features from abuse.

Information comes from your browser/device, your interactions with the site, information you submit, and service providers that support hosting, consent management, analytics, or advertising.

How and why we use information

• Provide the map, settings, progress tracking, feedback, and other requested site functions.
• Remember privacy choices and protect the site against fraud, abuse, security threats, and technical failures.
• Measure aggregate site usage and improve the site, but only when non-essential analytics is permitted by the applicable consent signal.
• When advertising is enabled, deliver, measure, limit, secure, and, where permitted, personalize advertising.
• Review, moderate, respond to, and maintain user-submitted reports or feedback.

Where GDPR or similar consent rules apply to non-essential cookies or device storage, consent is used before non-essential analytics and advertising storage is activated. Necessary processing may rely on the need to provide a requested feature, protect the site, comply with law, or another applicable lawful basis.

Advertising, Nitro, and cookies

The site is configured for advertising and consent-management services operated or powered by Overwolf Ltd. d/b/a Nitro ("Nitro"). When Nitro advertising is enabled, Nitro and advertising partners available through its services may place ads and collect or access information from your device for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, frequency limiting, and personalization where permitted.

Advertising-related information may include cookies and similar identifiers, device/browser information, IP address, approximate location, consent signals, and ad impressions or interactions.

For more information about Nitro's practices, see the Nitro Privacy Policy. See also this site's Cookie Policy.

Analytics

The site may use Google Analytics to understand aggregate site usage and improve performance. The site code keeps Google Analytics disabled by default and does not request the Google Analytics library until the consent system reports that applicable non-essential measurement consent is available. If consent is withdrawn, analytics storage is disabled and first-party Google Analytics cookies that are accessible to this site are expired.

The site also treats an enabled browser Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as an opt-out from Google Analytics in its own code.

Your privacy choices

You can review or change available consent settings at any time. The main site provides persistent Privacy Choices and Do Not Sell / Share controls.

Open Privacy ChoicesDo Not Sell / Share

Withdrawing consent does not disable storage or processing that is strictly necessary for requested features, security, consent records, or other processing permitted without consent.

California privacy choices

If California privacy law applies to your information, you may have rights to know/access, delete, correct, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, as well as a right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising applicable privacy rights. The site's Do Not Sell / Share control opens the available U.S. privacy controls.

The site code also detects the browser's Global Privacy Control signal and disables Google Analytics when that signal is enabled. Advertising opt-out signals are handled by the active consent-management platform and should be verified again as part of the final Nitro CMP launch review.

EU/EEA and UK privacy rights

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, you may have rights including access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, and withdrawal of consent. You may also have the right to complain to the data-protection authority that applies to you.

Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred lawfully before withdrawal. You can reopen the site's consent interface through Privacy Choices.

Local browser storage

Tarkov Documents Map uses browser storage for functionality such as map preferences, display settings, selected views, document tracking, progress, and other interface state. This information is generally stored on your device and persists until the site clears it, you reset the related feature, or you clear browser/site data.

Information you submit

If you submit a location, report incorrect information, send feedback, or otherwise provide information through the site, the submitted content and related technical information may be processed to review, moderate, respond to, maintain, secure, and improve those features.

Who may receive information

Depending on the feature and your choices, information may be disclosed to categories of service providers and partners such as hosting/infrastructure providers, consent-management providers, analytics providers, advertising technology providers, fraud/security providers, and other parties when required by law or necessary to protect rights and security.

Third-party services process information under their own terms and privacy policies where applicable.

Retention

Retention depends on the type and purpose of the information. Browser preferences remain on your device until they expire, are reset, or are cleared. Consent records are retained according to the consent platform's configuration. User submissions may be retained while needed to review and maintain the site's data, respond to feedback, prevent abuse, resolve disputes, or satisfy legal obligations. Third-party analytics and advertising providers apply their own retention settings and policies.

Children

This site is intended as an informational resource for players of Escape from Tarkov and is not directed to children under 13. Please do not submit personal information through the site's feedback or reporting tools if you are not permitted to do so in your jurisdiction.

Third-party links

The site may link to third-party websites or services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one.

Privacy requests and questions

To make a privacy request or ask a privacy question about Tarkov Documents Map, use the site's Feedback feature and begin your message with “Privacy Request”. Include enough information to understand the request, but do not send passwords, government identifiers, financial account information, or other unnecessary sensitive information.
